Last night I was in the shower and Myles came into the bathroom saying over and over again, “Mama, I sneezed. Mama, I sneezed.” So I said, “Oh….Well, bless you sweetie,” to which he replied, “Tink You, mama!” Then he turned and walked out of the bathroom closing the door behind him.
I had to chuckle because it makes me think that he’s so attached to me that he doesn’t even want me to miss one of his sneezes! And he doesn’t want to miss out on mommy’s “bless you.” To earn the trust and devotion of a small child is no small thing!! 
Such is the beauty of parenthood. Anyway, when Myles wakes up at night I try so hard to just let him cry a little in hopes that he’ll stop calling for me at night, but he sits up in his crib and calls out in this pitiful little voice, “Mama, where are you? Mama, where are you?” (He sure knows how to tug at my heart
). And when I go in to give him his nuk and blanket he always says, “Tink you, mama. I yuv you.” How can I not get up? How long will I have to get up? Will he do this when he’s 5? 9? 12? 
Fortunately it’s usually only once or twice a night but he’s been sick and it’s been 4-6 times a night. I hope that passes soon.ndrose 2007-08-14 19:26:31 Christine,
broken sleep sure is tuff, i sure know about that that
, but like you said those litte things make evrything worth it
. I do hope you can get some sleep soon. Being a great mother is not taught, it just come from your heart and the desire to do the best job possible. Here is a biggggggggggg
for being a great mommy!!! kendramom2007-08-14 19:50:30Oh my gosh my heart just melted! That is the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard!!! You do have a little prince on your hands! Sorry I can’t help with the sleeping thing. It’s GREAT that all he needs is a little pat and to see you in the middle of the night, but I’m sure you don’t love always having to get up. Hopefully someone else can chime in.
Christine what a sweetie!!!
Oh I dreeeeeeeeeam of Kate doing that one day. She’s still pretty little and not so aware of whose arms she’s in just yet(as long as they’re daddy or mommy so far)but that is the sweetest thing. I have no advice but man, parenthood sure is beautiful. For me its by the grace of God that we’re given these precious little creatures to take care of and love and that they’re able to melt our hearts even with all the struggles and trials. Incredible!!Bless his little heart. I’m thinking once he hits adolescents you’ll get your nights back
.Thanks everyone! He is a little Prince and I do adore him! He obviously adores me as well.
He follows me around the house like a little puppy dog. He plays happily alone or with his sisters as; as long as I am within sight. As soon as he sees my shoulders rise he knows I’m getting up to leave the room and he drops what he’s doing and follows me. When I cook he drags a chair over, climbs up, and stands right next to me. When I take a shower he finds at least a few reasons to come in and chat with me. When I’m on the computer he’ll come over and say, “Ma, I sit you?” (I sit with you?” I really don’t mind but I wonder sometimes if he’s too attached. Even when dh is home….Myles will sit with dh and play with him but if I leave the room he’ll leave daddy and follow me. I don’t remember my girls being so stuck on me at that age. Maybe it’s boy thing. In any case, yes parenthood is a joy, a blessing and a privilege; despite the lack of sleep. Ugg…he had me up three times last night.
I hope and pray that all the love I give him now will help him to grow up to be a loving father and spouse one day. Christine, I think that is soooo sweet. Seth is like that too in a lot of ways. Boys do love their mommies!
Aww….. Myles sounds so sweet.
Parker has been the same way with me. He’s definitely my mommy’s boy – more so than Isaac & Bryce. He has seemed to get a little better about it as he’s gotten older.
